I DID IT!

Two stinkin’ long years (with breaks, I am not insane), I have made it to Silver! That Rank has taunted me so damn much. I get so close- and I get a losing streak and be falling back down to Bronze 2. Its been a grind, though, casually. I am no tried hard and I will do the best I can. The fact that I play more casual, took a 2 week break, and came back to do this. Support is deffo my home role.

Honestly, i thought I would never reach Silver.

Now, the hard part: more practice with a back up, positioning, awareness, aaaaand aiming. Next goal is Silver 1! I am not insane to try for Gold! I just want Silver lol

Do- Do people not pay attention?

Live recording with reaction. If I had a face cam, you would see the dumbfoundment on my face.

Like- I had this like two more times this week!! What is in the water for QP?? Yes, its QP, not gonna be that serious. But, with a team that clearly can destroy mine (and won the game) and dominate- how they this dumb to not notice that the point is being taken? Note: They know there is a Venture in play, I was the first death. This clip was my second attempt.

I bet they were all “EZ” to each other, thinking they have the game in the bag- until point was claimed and the culprit gets away.

I get two more kills before dying in the following fight (cause I was laughing my ass off), both being the supports falling to my drill. We made it through second point, on our way to the end. We sadly stalled there.

This was a rough one match, Mei coming into play and just shutting me down, and they sat on the payload, not wanting the mistake of losing it again.

I was 18-10 if ya curious, my deaths being heavier near the end of the match, fighting over the payload and Mei being a target I don’t want but I gotta, getting my butt kicked too much. I did try my best, getting too desperate near the end.

Drives are insane, more than last time.

I am tier 3. I wanted the points and got my crimson drill. I am NOT doing any more XD

Drives were going well until something happened that did not happen last season in my time playing: I had two leaver games in a row.

Lil story time

I main Illari and was playing support. I am Bronze 1.

First leaver game was on Gibralter. Our tank left and we lost before the timer ended, thus, none of us could make the game a draw in time. Of course the enemy team who were being destroyed start saying “ez” cause we lost our tank who was doing fantastic. This is Bronze btw. This is rare to have.

I wanted to snap hard but what would be the point? Yeah, its easy now cause there isn’t tank who was doing their job anymore, let alone, no longer in game due to server lag on their end. Just been Thanos snapped out and they couldn’t get back in. We were dead ass winning. Server said nah and kicked them.

Second leaver game was Hollywood. We were attack first and we did get payload all the way to end point. Who did we lose this time? My fellow support. We started losing ground fast in the Defend round and the game had entered the tie breaker round. We had to claim point. Thats it. I was the sole support and I felt like we were gonna lose again.

I had Mauga, Anran and Sojourn (i believe). I went full heal build, pylon and solar flare for my perks, and expected us to lose, watching the count down timer before we can leave.

Before the round started, Mauga just stood before me. Honestly, part of me thinks he felt the amount of stress and negative energy from me, and wanted to express support that he knows I have a lot to manage. I took this as: Stay behind me. We are gonna win this.

We stormed out, my pylon hitting my first spot perfectly. Mauga gets to the choke and I moved the pylon the instant I could. My dps swarmed in like wasps and we forced in, breaking for point. I placed my pylon again, not in a great spot, but I kept up on healing over damage. And we claimed the point, team kill if my memory serves.

I honestly wanted to hug and kiss these three due to the seemingly impossible victory.

Gonna say it: a good tank, makes the game winnable.

What crazy games yall had in drives?
